[203]
Finally on this
occasion, while demanding for Cersobleptes any honors they thought proper, and
while concentrating on that, they attached two other names to his. One is the
man of whose many misdeeds you have just heard the story. The other is named
Euderces, but nobody in the wide world knows who he is. You see the result, men
of Athens: honors that were once
great now appear trifling; and the practice is advancing ever farther and
farther. The old rewards no longer suffice, and they are not in the least
grateful for them, unless you will also protect their persons, man by man, or so
it seems.
